100% certainty of conclusions
Strong basis for actions
Limitations of deductive reasoning
Quality of assumptions
Quality of logic
Not self-testing

False assumptions lead to uncertain conclusions
Quality of logic limitation
Errors produce false conclusions from true premises or vice versa
Deduction is not self-testing limitation
Conclusions need to be tested against reality
What are “33 principles”
Study in deductive logic
33 principles represent
Extended deductive syllogism
Principles categorized
Universal (1-14)
Biological (15-30)
Chiropractic (31-33)
Universal principles
Outline concept of intelligent universe
Universal principles most closely related to concept of
Dualism — dualistic interactionism
BJ’s 3 intelligences
Universal
Innate
Educated
Universal intelligence
Principle of self-organization inherent in all matter
Organization
Atom - molecule - cell - tissue - organ - system - body
Chiropractic triune of life
Intelligence = provides form Matter/energy = expresses the form Force = link intelligence with matter
Biological principles reveal that chiro is based on the paradigm os
Vitalism (critical vitalism or organicism)
Biological principles reveal that living things are
Life in matter inseparably
Organized and maintained by their innate intelligence
Innate intelligence
Living ting has intelligence of universe born within it
Innate intelligence is the name we give to
Universal intelligence in living things
Innate intelligence is
Universal intelligence
But it pays more attention of the unit
Signs of innate intelligence of life
Assimilation
Elimination
Growth/reproduction
Adaptability
Mission of innate intelligence
Maintain material of body of a living thing in ACTIVE ORGANIZATION
Cause of dis-ease
Interference w/ transmission of innate forces
Chiropractic principles
Last 3, specific to living organisms w/ nerve systems and spinal columns
Chiropractic principles establish importance of
Nervous system as integrator of body functions
Subluxations are disruptive
Subluxations
Cause Interference w/ transmission in body directly or indirectly
historical context: Chiropractic is philosophy, science and art of
Things natural; adjusted by hand only to correct cause of dis-ease
Redefined: chiro is a philosophy, science, and art of a
